I usually use regular soap to wash my hands, because the antibacterial soap seems todry out my 3 year old grandaughters and my 83 year old mothers hands. They both have sensitive skin. I do use antibacterial cleaners to clean with. What do you wash your hands with?

I wash my hand with regular soap and I sometime wash my hand with dish wash soap. I feel comfortable with it and it doesn't give any negative effect to me. But I found some my friends is use an antibacterial liquid soap when they will eat something. keep post happy myLotting...

I"m not too particular with the soap with antibacterial properties. As long as I wash my hand with soap and water. There are antibacterial soap that offers several variants, one is with moisturizers for sensitive skin. You should check on that.

I have many skin problems and a oily skin so I prefer to wash my hands with antibacterial soap..Them apply a good quality moisturiser..I know it dries out the skin..But most antibacterial things do and moisturising you skin is the only way out...Kid's like your granddaughter and my cousin need to be cleaned withem more I thnk cause kids touch many a things while playing around and have a tendency to put that dirty mouth in their mouth...Have a nice day!

If I do have antibacterial soap and do see it in the shops then yes I would buy it because I love to be germ free. I don't have a problem with it on my hands and it doesn't seem to dry my hands either. I guess it really depends what kind of skin you have.
